Canada launches negotiations with Italy for Leonardo M-346 advanced jet trainer for RCAF fighter-lead-in training
The Government of Canada has opened talks with Italy on purchasing the Leonardo M-346 advanced jet trainer to replace the BAE Systems CT-155 Hawk retirement that concluded in 2024. The M-346 is targeted for the RCAF’s future fighter lead-in training programme. Canada has already drawn on the type’s international adoption, including at least one other comparable M-346 operator referenced in reporting.
